I object to your use of the term "nail" to describe sexual relations with a woman. It is demeaning, and perpetuates the notion that women are nothing more than sexual objects to fulfill a man's desires.

In the future, please use the more respectful terms "screw," or "pork."

This was pre-computer...We used to go outside, play army, drink free milk at school, play kerbie rather than Kirby...happy times.

"kerbie"? What whimsical Medieval pastime is this?

Two teams on either side of the road. Throw a football at the kerb(sidewalk), and get it to rebound back towards your side. If you can catch it on the rebound, you score a point. If it doesn't rebound far enough, you lose your go.

More fun than it sounds.

Actually, that sounds great! To bad their aren't any kerbs where I live

Not as annoying to collect as the bloody "Wanted" posters, thankfully. Since Playboys are mission areas only. FUCKING COLLECTIBLES SUCK IN OPEN WORLD GAMES! From Fallout 3, to Saint's Row, to Jak 2. I hate 'em in open world games, SO MUCH!

You forgot "bone," otherwise agreed

Don't forget the flags in Asscreed.

Is it just me, or is this another stealth reference to a Yahtzee column? Oh Shamus, you fanboy you :-) <3

Well, at least this collectables granted you free bewbs. Still I prefer the way Batman Arkahm Asylum did it, with a map with the location of all the teeth, and special images and bios as reward.Saying that batman is better than porn made me feel a real nerd, but I guess Mumbles would be proud of me...

In the first one, you didn't even get boobs. Just a slightly less cluttered dirt-covered city.

You forgot Crackdown 2 (I've heard the first was bad too, but not as bad).

500 (Five-zero-zero) collectible orbs that ostensably increase your "agility" stat, even though that maxs out after about 200ish (which is itself, ridiculous). The other 300 exist purely for a 50G achievement.

300 (Three-zero-zero) orbs that increase all of your stats slightly, which sounds good, until you realize that it's faster (and more fun) to increase your stats just by using them. Other than that, it's just for a 30G achievement.

30 orbs that exist purely to piss you off. Not only are they hidden, but you also have to chase them down. And without DLC abilities/vehicles, they move at just under your speed, along relatively complicated routes.

80 orbs that require you be playing online over xbox LIVE with someone else. And just to add additional insult to injury, they have to be right next to you to get it. Plus, both people have to grab them separately, so sometimes a friend will call you over to grab one, then take off as soon as he gets it, leaving you to get a message saying "you need to be near another agent to collect this".

That is not a complete list. Just a few highlights. Almost every achievement in the game is a collectible achievement.

first was waaaay worse. No Orb Ping. :(

I didn't know about the Orb Ping until I was about 90% done with the orbs anyway, so it didn't matter, really.

You know a game has a shitty collectible system when you have to print out a goddamn map to find them all. At least with ODSTs audio logs, I had fun finding them, and it was enjoyable listening to them after I got them. Not so much with Crackdown.
